Couples Therapy
I support couples wherever they are in their relationship journey.
I welcome couples of all types and from all backgrounds to help them understand where they are getting stuck and gain the tools they need to for their relationship grow and thrive.
Sessions can be in Italian and/or English, and can take place online or in person (depending on availability).
Specialty Areas
Conflict Management
Learn the tools and strategies you and your partner need to successfully navigate and manage conflict so that your relationship can grow stronger.
(Re)Connecting
Explore how you and your partner can open the channels of communication, empathy and intimacy in a safe space with professional guidance.
Separation
Navigate the challenges of separating with expert support to help you manage the process with respect, empathy and mutual understanding
Cross-Cultural relationships
Being a cross-cultural couple is an enriching experience…but sometimes the conflicts and tensions that arise are hard to navigate. Couple’s counselling can help you make sense of the intricacies of intercultural relationships.
My Approach to Couples Therapy
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
identifying each partner’s attachment style and understanding how they interact with one another to either bring comfort and peace or distress and conflict.
The Gottman Method
practicing specific strategies for better communication, and greater trust and intimacy.
Systemic Family Therapy
seeing the “big picture” and understanding how change in one part of the couple/family system can bring change to other parts of the system.
Transcultural Psychotherapy
recognising how each partner’s cultural background and the context in which they currently live emerges as source of potential conflict or as a positive resource to leverage.
NERVOUS SYSTEM & TRAUMA-INFORMED
applying what we know about the neuroscience of emotions and human interaction to improve and strengthen the relationship; understanding how attachment experiences, nervous system responses, and protective patterns can shape the ways partners relate, communicate, and respond during moments of stress or conflict. Supporting couples in developing greater self-awareness, emotional regulation, compassion, and connection.
